Gang,

I think we all know that the java.util.Date class is pretty miserable
in many ways. I hope you all know that there is a solution, called
Joda Time which is a much better thought out time handling package.

I would like to suggest;

 - We remove java.util.Date from being used in Qi4j. Use Joda time
instead, for instance for lastModified.

 - Strongly discourage java.util.Date usage in Qi4j applications.

We could even "not explicitly supported" for java.util.Date in
serialization (treated as a Serializable), which would quickly move
people away from it.

Opinions?


Cheers
